Turquoise is a highly sought-after mineral and is possibly the most valuable, non-transparent mineral in the jewelry trade. It has been mined for eons since at least 6000 BC by early Egyptians. Today, it is more popular than ever and its use around the world is prolific. The finest turquoise comes from Iran but is challenged by stone found in the southwestern United States. The name comes from a French word, which means stone of Turkey, from where Persian material passed on its way to Europe. Certain Native Americans called turquoise "Chal-cui-hui-tal", meaning "the highest and most valued thing in the world". The Navajo believe turquoise is a piece of the sky that has fallen to earth, and it is used as an offering to appease the wind. The Apache believe it combines the spirits of the sea and sky to help warriors and hunters aim accurately. The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and green turquoise was female and of the earth. The Zuni, along with many other Native American groups, believed the stone could help protect them from demons or help a person feel intuitively the difference between good and evil as well as protect against accidents and various dangers. To actually see a bright blue nugget of Turquoise on the otherwise gray and dusty desert floor is to know the incredible nature of this stone and will lead anyone to realize what the Native Americans have known to be true for millennia - that Turquoise is special, sacred, and has power.
